The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1887-09-06

The GAZETTE is not going to insult
its readers by advocating reform in
one column, and publishing SANDERS
Unfortunately against the authors
of the reform movement in the next.
After the main issues of the present
electoral contest are decided, this
paper will still be in time for the dis
cussion of mere personalities. And
some of those who now assume the
guise of purists may come in for
share Of attention in that regard.
When we are discussing domestic
affairs, we do not go to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle for facts. All we are
making a fight for at this moment
are the candidates and the platform
of the Reform party. If the opposi-
tionists or the malcontents have any
thing to say against those principles
and their standard bearers, let them
out with it like men and not go beat
ing about the bush to insult body
of honorable men with insinuations
concocted out of one-sided, secret his
tories of the revolution. The main
question before the electors is whether
the reforms won by the late move
ment are to be permanent, or is the
nation to revert to the rotten system
that came to an end the last week of
June. Regarding the motives actu-
ating, or the conduct characterizing,
individuals singled out by the oppo-
rents of the Reform party from
amongst those who obtained those
eforms, the electors have nothing to
Jay on this occasion, unless charges of
wrong practices OF bad behavior are
preferred against candidates for the
j legislature. The issues of the con-
sst have nothing to do with the adju-
aication of personal difficulties arts
/ g out of past events, but pertain to
{ e most vital interests of the King
ON for the future. After the matter
principles in themselves, the chief
lestion relates to men. If the nation
d sires the perpetuation Of the re-
e. rms embodied in the new Constitu-
ii I, what set of men are the most

The country needs a head, whether IL Ia
called King or President, or what not "A
needs an executive who has mind and viii
of his own, who can command the eonfdeucs

who will devote himself to public blsinesz

ian people have provided for them

One of the planks in the Reform
platform gives part of the policy of
that party to be the direction of sur
plus revenues into channels of inter
nal improvement. 1t is high time
that such policy was vigorously set
on foot here. With revenue I'M
equaled in any country, in proportion
to the population, Hawaii is being
outstripped by codntries on all sides
of her in works of internal develop
ment. We have no immigration sys-
TEN except for procuring cheap con
tract labor from both sides of the
globe, and no arrangements for dis
posing of any other class of immi-
grants. Neither has step even been
taken on the part of the nation for
instituting works of land reclamation.
The past administration land policy
consisted chiefly in facilitating the
depredations of land grabbers. Even
when private enterprise entered upon
project of colonization, help was
only found obtainable from the Gov
eminent at the cost of turning the
scheme over to a ring that already
had too much land under barren con
troll. All this time the Australasian
Colonies and Pacific Coast communi-
ties have been perfecting vast schemes
of land reclamation and colonization,
which are certain to yield many thou
sand-fold. of their cost to the future
prosperity Of those countries. Other es-
sential branches of internal develop
ment which have eked out but a sickly
existence under the old order of things,
are the improvement of commercial
marine facilities, of inland communi-
cations on the several islands and of
shipping conveniences at available
points. Owing to the neglect of these
things, private capital, intended for
developing the resources of the soil,
has had in large amounts to be di
verted to works that, being very ma
terially for the common good and
utilized for public purposes, should
have been provided for out of the
national revenues. The Reform party
has marked out new line of policy
for the Government that they will
support, in the application of reve
nues saved by economical administra-
ton to purposes of internal improve
ment.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1887-09-06

ALL over the Islands the Reform
party has nominated candidates for
the Legislature from amongst men
who have been identified with the
material growth of the nation. These
candidates are intimately acquainted
with the practical needs of the country
in every branch of Government ser
vice education, roads and bridges,
labor, landings, mails, packets, sani-
tation, and the rest. This is the very
class of men that the Legislature has
long required. Formerly there was
a plenty of Government servants I'M
der different departments in the As
sembly, some of whom probably had
a tolerable knowledge of the duties
of their respective Offices, and others
whose acquaintance with affairs did
not go much beyond knowing the
process of drawing their salaries.
But there was a deplorable lack in
the law-making body of men who
knew the practical requirements of
the country from actual experience
in conducting large industrial opera
lions, and intimate acquaintance with
all classes of the people in CONNER
cial transactions. Instead of such
Legislators there was majority of
small partisan creatures, who made
politics their business to keep them
selves in Office and to whom the ses-
sional indemnity was no small con
sideration, whose votes were always
ready for the cutting short of DELHI
Grafton on measures that promised
themselves or their masters no pick
ings, and for suppressing the venti
lation of complaints humbly submit
ted to the Assembly by petition from
the people. If the country is to have
representative institutions, let these
be constituted ON business principles.
There would better be no Legislature
at all than one composed in the ma
jority of professional political shys-
tiers, who only represent themselves
and the bosses whose tools they are.
Men engaged in developing the in
dustrial and commercial resources of
the country, therefore whose own in
terests are bound up with the com
mon welfare, are the men to repre-
sent the whole people in the LegisIa-
ture. They are to be found making
up the Reform tickets of all the Is
lands.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1887-09-06

The following paragraphs from the
Elelo contain suggestions worthy of
adoption. With regard to the first
one, each party running ticket should
have an authorized agent to watch the
interests of its candidates at every
poll A presiding officer, clerk or
two appointed by the Government,
and an agent appointed by the candi-
dates on either side, in writing, should
sit over every ballot-box and nobody
else be allowed to remain in the
apartment where the voting takes
place. Following are the suggestions
of our native contemporary in its
English column:
The guardians of the ballot-box in the COM
ing election are the appointments of the Re-
form party Why should not the opposition
be allowed to place one of their party with
the judges of election at each polling place?
There is nothing lost by fair play.
We hope the Ministry will regulate the
matter so as to keep outsiders one hundred
feet from the ballot-box ON election day.
There are usually a crowd of roughs who fol-
low the voter to the ballot-box and try to in
duce him to vote their ticket. Coercion at
the ballot.box is disgusting to good men.
Voters should be allowed to vote at their own
free will. We hope the Ministers will give
the matter their attention.

HE Reform party has taken
stand for the Independence of this
Kingdom. Its very existence is based
on desire to maintain the privileges
of home rule, for, with any other idea,
those who compose that party would
not have interfeFed with the eourseOf
the recent misgovernment. Under
the past administration complications
produced by insane policy, both ID
home affairs and foreign relations.
were rapidly converging to a point
where foreign interference wOul2 A.
inevitable. All the other planks
the Reform platform, besides that
which declares for national indepen-
dence, consist of principles that, put
in practice, will ensure the success *
self-government by the people Of tins
country. Here Is the PLATFORM
l. That all unnecessary offices in the gov
eminent be abolished, and that excessive
salaries be curtailed.
.. That the principles Of rigid economy be
applied to every department Of the govern
ment.
3. That provision be made for the liquida-
ton of the national debt
4. That as soon as practicable the rate OF
taxation be reduced, and that the revenue Of
the Kingdom be turned into channels OF in
ternal improvement.
D. That the autonomy and Independence Of
the Kingdom be preserved.
Viewed in the light of the outrage
Gus follies, the wantOn extravaganza,
the imbecile improyidence, and Grim
inal inaction in the line of necessary
public improvements, which charae-
terized the administration of affairs
that came to an inglorious end last
June, the Reform platform is full of
hope to the nation. 1t embraces
within its brief limits the elements Of
political stability and material pros
perity. Those principles carried into
effect will give Hawaii credit fo= dis
credit, honor for dishOnOr, economy
for wastefulness, a full treasury for q
burdensome debt, low taxation for
threatened exOrbitant levies, internal
improvement for public works in stag-1
nation and decay, and, all theses
things combined, an assurance of ma
tional independence for the lately
imminent peril of becoming a con
temptible tributary to a foreign Power.
All who have a sincere desire to have
these islands established upon their
new career, with the prospect of re-a
gained prosperity and continued ag-
tonOmy, cannot but actively support
the Reform platform.

Sir William Fitzherbert, Speaker
of the Legislative Assembly of New
Zealand, who was through passen-
ger by the steamer Zealandia, was in
terviewed by a Gail reporter in San
Francisco, on several topics. The
following passage regarding the San
Francisco mail route subsidy is in
teresting, coming from such an
authority as Sir William
els there a probability, do you
think, Sir William, of the main
tenance of the present mail service
between San Francisco and the Colo
MES ?" asked the reporter
Well, while admitting the utility
of such connection between America
and the Colonies, it seems to me that
the advantages under the present
circumstances are too one-sided to be
maintained. The exports from Aus
tralia to the United States are incon
siderable, while the exports from the
United States to Australia are very
heavy. Now, if the question could
be properly represented to Congress,
at Washington, and some degree of
reciprocity secured, [ have no doubt
of the continued maintenance Of the
line. For instance, when the New
Zealand Parliament next proceeds to
take the payment of a subsidy into
consideration, the question will natu
rally be asked, What are we getting
back for all this 2 If there is trade,
if the Colony is deriving advantages
from the alliance, then that is the
best possible argument in favor of
continuing the subsidy. The duties
on wool might be RENTED, or the
duties on some other Australian pro
duct. If something in this way is
not done, the continued payment of
subsidy is not probable"

Mr.. w. B. OLEsoN, who has the
rare knack of hitting nails fair on
the head, certainly welded a good
stroke of argument at the Third
Ward meeting of Tuesday night
when he asserted that the opposition
candidates are all in favor of reform
simply because it is an accomplished
fact. These post facto reformers are
sure to turn up on occasions when
their services are most urgently
necessary to be dispensed with. Yes,
they are all favorable to the new
Constitution, but their advocacy of it
is about as timely and valuable as a
felon's exhortation from under the
gallows to the spectators to avoid his
fate by keeping out of his tracks.
